• 400g white chocolate
• 4 sheets of gelatin
• 400ml of 35% heavy cream

3. Add the gelatin and dissolve it.

Maple Syrup as a substitute for white sugar

In almost all recipes, you can replace sugar with an equal amount of maple syrup. For cake recipes and most desserts, you simply cut the amount of liquid (water, milk, juice, etc.) to be added in the recipe by about 60 ml (1/4 cup) for every 250 ml (1 cup) of maple syrup used.
